Install a column of 1-1/2" Steel Pipe. If possible, place it directly below a horizontal beam. Using 1-1/2” steel floor flange, secure it to floor, with anchor bolts, and to the overhead horizontal beam with another 1-1/2” floor flange.
If you have no beam, just open framing (e.g., Truss frames), position the column so it extends all the way to the top rafter, then secure the pipe to the side of the rafter using long U-Bolts through both the rafter and the horizontal stringer directly below. Finally, plumb the column and secure to the floor using a 1-1/2” floor flange.
I any case, be sure to consider the swing radius of the arm when placing the column.
